When $36 \ g$ of a non-volatile,non-electrolytic solute having the empirical formula $CH_2O$ is dissolved in $1.2 \ kg$ of water,the solution freezes at $-0.93 \ ^\circ C$. The molecular formula of the solute is ($K_f$ of water $= 1.86 \ K \ kg \ mol^{-1}$)

  • A
    $CH_2O$
  • B
    $C_2H_4O_2$
  • C
    $C_3H_6O_3$
  • D
